Guidance & Counseling

Accessing Counselors:

School counselors will be available to respond to emails and appointments can be made to connect with a parent or student via phone if needed. Responses and appointments will occur during normal operating hours while buildings remain closed. You can find contact information for your school counselor on your campus website under About, or Academics - Counseling or by clicking here.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Resources

We know that how a person thinks, their mindset, is a powerful determinant in the quality of life they experience. Competency in social emotional skills is particularly beneficial in these uncertain times. To assist students and families in developing optimal mindsets, weekly SEL lessons are available in the Counselor Support Course in Canvas. School counselors are available to assist students and families with lesson facilitation. In addition to the weekly lessons, supplemental Social Emotional Well-Being Activities are available in the canvas course.

District Crisis/Behavior Intervention Counselors:

Parents/guardians can reach out to district crisis/behavior intervention counselors during normal operating hours for additional mental health and/or family support. Please contact counselors via email according to the campus your child attends.
